Africa Renewal

The Africa Renewal magazine examines the many issues
that confront the people of Africa, its leaders and its international partners: sustainable
development goals, economic reform, debt, education, health, women's empowerment, conflict and
civil strife, democratization, investment, trade, regional integration and many other topics.
It tracks policy debates. It provides expert analysis and on-the-spot reporting to show how
those policies affect people on the ground. And, it highlights the views of policy-makers,
non-governmental leaders and others actively involved in efforts to transform Africa and
improve its prospects in the world today. The magazine also reports on and examines the many
different aspects of the United Nations’ involvement in Africa, especially within the
framework of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD).

African democracy coming of age

Development experts sum up the solution to Africa’s socioeconomic and political problems in two words: good governance. If Africa’s 54 countries practice good governance, these experts say, their economies will grow, poverty will be eliminated and the continent’s 1.2 billion people will enjoy prosperity.
